Tejun Heo f2c9e7fddd scx_layered: Don't use tctx->last_cpu when picking target llc
It's confusing to use tctx->last_cpu for making active choices as it makes
layered deviate from other schedulers unnecessarily. Use last_cpu only for
migration accounting in layered_running().

- In layered_enqueue(), layered_select_cpu() already returned prev_cpu for
  non-direct-dispatch cases and the CPU the task is currently on should
  match tctx->last_cpu. Use task_cpu instead.

- In keep_running(), the current CPU always matches tctx->last_cpu. Always
  use bpf_get_smp_processor_id().

SCHED_EXT SCHEDULERS

Introduction

This directory contains the repo's schedulers.

Some of these schedulers are simply examples of different types of schedulers that can be built using sched_ext. They can be loaded and used to schedule on your system, but their primary purpose is to illustrate how various features of sched_ext can be used.

Other schedulers are actually performant, production-ready schedulers. That is, for the correct workload and with the correct tuning, they may be deployed in a production environment with acceptable or possibly even improved performance. Some of the examples could be improved to become production schedulers.

Please see the following README files for details on each of the various types of schedulers:

  • rust describes all of the schedulers with rust user space components. All of these schedulers are production ready.
  • c describes all of the schedulers with C user space components. All of these schedulers are production ready.

Note on syncing

Note that there is a sync-to-kernel.sh script in this directory. This is used to sync any changes to the specific schedulers with the Linux kernel tree. If you've made any changes to a scheduler in please use the script to synchronize with the sched_ext Linux kernel tree:

$ ./sync-to-kernel.sh /path/to/kernel/tree
